The Research Handbook on Social Welfare Law illustrates the breadth and depth of modern welfare research, examining approaches that challenge the traditional boundaries of social assistance in practice. Contributors, including those from the Global North and South, explore timely and fascinating case studies, including an analysis of social insurance in India, constitutionalism in South Africa and social care in the UK. They cut across varied legal and social contexts, informing future research on a global scale.

This Research Handbook is crucial for academics and researchers focusing on social policy, particularly its patterns, histories and futures. It will provide rich rewards for students of law, social welfare and public policy.
